Bitter Branches (Deadguy) Debut Two New Singles From Upcoming Sophomore Album

Post-hardcore/noise rock supergroup Bitter Branches, featuring members of Deadguy, Paint It Black, and more, have announced their sophomore album ‘Let’s Give The Land Back To The Animals’, due out March 06 via Equal Vision Records.

The new record was produced by J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines) and marks the band’s first full-length since their 2022 debut. Alongside the announcement, Bitter Branches have released two new singles, “Basic Karate” and “Cave Dwellers,” both of which are now streaming.

Vocalist Tim Singer explained the mindset behind “Basic Karate”:

“On some of these songs, I let myself explore some dark thoughts in my head. It’s not your typical belligerent music because there’s a lot of open space; it feels like it’s a bit more sinister.”

Drummer Jeff Tirabassi noted the band’s growth on the new album, saying:

“On our first record I feel like we were all trying to get our feet underneath it, but on this one we really wanted to lean into the groove.”

Singer added that the album taps into influences that longtime fans of the genre will recognize:

“On a fanboy level, especially for us old heads, it scratches that Jesus Lizard itch; a little bit of exploring a lane over there instead of the typical lanes. There’s a lot in that post-hardcore lane that we all love that I don’t think is explored enough — or at least not by the right people.”

‘Let’s Give The Land Back To The Animals’ track listing:

01 – “Rat Poison”
02 – “Cave Dwellers”
03 – “Pity Party”
04 – “Basic Karate”
05 – “Posture Contest”

07 – “High Street”

Pre-orders for the album are available now.
